BRUSSELS (Reuters) -
A Belgian man appeared in court on
Friday after a woman at his dinner party found the bodies of
his wife and stepson in the freezer as she put away the
leftovers, prosecutors said.
The woman went to the police after discovering the
46-year-old woman and her 11-year-old son and officers arrested
the man in the town of Verviers, near Liege in east Belgium, on
Wednesday
She went to the freezer and that is what she saw. She then
alerted the police," said Georges Lahaye of the local public
prosecutors' office. Prosecutors want the suspect, aged 43, to
be remanded in custody to allow more time for an investigation
into the deaths.
Lahaye said the suspect had not made a confession. He added
that the couple argued a lot.
